Jordan Schakel averaged fourteen minutes per game and didn’t get a start last season, acting as a rotation player for the Aztecs behind Malik Pope and Max Montana.
This season, Schakel is an everyday starter, showcasing a deadly jump shot, timely rebounding, and solid defending.
Schakel’s primary strength is his shooting. His release is incredibly quick. At :32 from the Aztecs’ game against Texas Southern, you get a really good look at that.
He brings the ball straight up in one fluid motion from the floor off the feed from point guard Devin Watson.
